Is there a rain sensor connection?

According to the manual there is an optional part (part No 57098) that ca be purchased. The rain shut off switch can be easily connected to the timer to prevent over-watering during rainy periods.

Not as purchased, there may be one as an optional extra, call the company to find out

No sensor. When in auto (programmed) pushing rain delay button 1, 2, or 3 times, delays program for 24, 48, or 72 hours.

Sensor could be placed anywhere outside as long as there is an overhang or something to keep the rain and wet weather from directly hitting it. I love this clock and sensor. Works really well. We placed our sensor on the underside of our bow window any spot on your balcony with a little protection from direct rain. :)

The sensor that comes with this unit is wired. I found it not to work correctly with rain, although I think it sensed low temps OK and switched off the controller. I've had my unit for a couple of years. This year I replaced the wired rain sensor with Rainbird's wireless rain/freeze unit and it now controls and shuts off for rain. Not to say that you won't have a unit that shuts off when it rains. If I saturated the disks myself the wired unit would shut off the controller. However, even in pouring rain (like an inch and hour or more), I'd still find the controller running. This unit isn't exactly designed for the wireless units and so it took a bit of jerry rigging with the common wire etc. to get the replacement wireless to work correctly.

Just pluged into the existing harness but ended up returning it because of moisture issue after rainfall .

It is not included, it has the connection & function, but the sensor which needs to be installed outdoor for sensing rain, needs to be purchased separately, not aware of its cost, I guess about $30-40.

You can use an outside sensor but will loose the function of humidity sensing. I did not buy the optional sensor. The sensor is on Amazon for $24.05 Search C7089U1006 and read the 28 reviews posted there.

Yes it has to contact the two metal sensors, so what you do is have the sensors almost touching the ground .

I have no idea, because as you see in the pic, the outside sensor is include if this is the model you are interested in. I love my weatherstation...

There is no 'rain' delay as there is no rain sensor. It is a button you push manually if you want to delay watering for a day. I've never used it but don't need it.

Not to my knowledge. The sensor is a ring that replaces the spark plug gasket. I use this to monitor the cylinder head temperature of an air-cooled VW engine.

You need to buy the Vantage View Weather Station, which includes this receiver and the sensor suite which transmits temperature, rain, wind, etc. from outdoors an sends it to this receiver. This stand alone receiver only will work if you have the outdoor sensor suite sending it signals (except of course for indoor temp/humidity). Hope this helps.

yes there is. It is on the side so you must turn the device in order to see the water level.

I haven't used it with a moisture sensor, but even better than that if you connect it to the web as you should, it will pick up the weather from a local weather station and only water when it isn't raining. You can set how long to switch off if it has rained. Much more reliable than a moisture sensor I think! (I love this device by the way)

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.

No not at all. Very simple setup. You can add a rain sensor. I bought it for the price. Perhaps in the future they'll do a firmware update, but I wouldn't count on it. Try Cyber-rain. www.cyber-rain.com, but it will be expensive. http://www.cyber-rain.com/residential-irrigation-smart-controller-products.html

The ones I received have a switch on the bottom to turn them on. There is no water sensor.
